As many of you know, I have an off-shoot blog counting down the days Bush has left in office.  For the most part, it gets about a quarter to a third of the visitors of xerratus simply because I don't post to it too often nor do I promote it as much as this blog. 

With Bush's declining approval ratings, the never-ending illegal war in Iraq and gas prices at an all time high, I've noticed that the daily number of visits to the countdown increasing.  Today though, the number of visitors to the countdown have surpassed those to this blog.  Although, the day isn't over yet I'm eager to see if the numbers stay steady.  Will the "Days Bush has left" beat out "Happily stressed out, since 1974!"?  This also begs the question; will that trend remain or is it a just a fad?

I have to admit though, a lot of the traffic seems to be coming from this forum entry where the URL was submitted by a fan (honestly, it wasn't me) in one of the comments.  Even though the posting was added today, it doesn't mean that traffic hasn't been increasing before this.  Albeit (my new favorite word according to my wife), the posting has generated a good share of traffic today and may be the reason for the numbers passing those of xerratus.

I'll post the results tomorrow.

UPDATE: And the winner is.... the days Bush has left countdown!
